First Restoration project
Just finished my first restoration project on an austin pipe.

had to strip the bowl back and polish (gonna wax it a bit more though when i get the time)
the stem had a huge hole that i had to fill then stripped off all the oxidation and polished on my grinder. what you think guys?

Re: First Restoration project
Looks good. I'm curious as well, what is the pipe?

Re: First Restoration project
I took a pic before but didnt get it off the camera, when i looked it was out of focus and you can really see it.

the wood was almost balck with dirt and you couldnt see the grain at all, the stem was a dark dirty yellow, covered in oxidation.

the pipe say no.3 on one side and the other it says Austin.


thanks for the comments guys
